'If I had to use one word to describe our strategy.'

Three gates of hell: marriage counseling, investments, company meetings

'I like the way you handle responsibility, McWit, so I'm going to blame some stuff on you.'

'A few more years in this job and you'll learn how to delegate stress.'

'I clawed my way to the top and then I clawed my way back to the middle.'

'Sorry, suffering from burnout return in a week.'

"Lost my job. But I'm pretty sure it's around here somewhere."

'Wake me up when he doesn't use a buzzword.'

'Calling Tech Support does NOT count as one of my wishes!'

In and Out Tray

Late/Too Late.

"I feel your pain."

'Your main goal in this job is getting out alive.'

"My career's in shreds, but on the bright side, so are my files."

A man is in an office, behind him is a glass box containing a glass and a bottle, there is a sign saying 'in case of emergency'
